From 70s to 5 Inches in 12 Hours

Candy: Seriously! Yesterday was partly sunny and in the 70s. Then it started snowing overnight, and by noon today we have 5 inches.

The picture above is the tree outside my patio right now. Crazy. I still have to get used to this kind of winter weather. I can live with this kind of snow, though, much more easily than the kind of snow we get in Minnesota or Ohio. At least this snow will be melted and gone pretty quickly. And then the sun will be shining and the skies will be gorgeous.

Things are going well for us in Colorado. We love it already. It's hard not to like beautiful mountain views and gorgeous blue skies nearly every day!

We have settled into an apartment in Broomfield. It's near the high-tech corridor in Denver, and yet it's off by itself so that we feel somewhat secluded from the hustle and bustle of the city. From the ridge above our apartment we have an unobstructed sweeping view of both the downtown Denver cityscape and the Flatiron Range.

We're about 10 miles from Boulder, where Tim's job is, which is really nice. I'm hoping to find work in this area of the metro too, so that I can avoid the traffic congestion, though if I have to drive into the city I'll do it with no complaints.

Tim is enjoying his new job despite missing the routines of coaching basketball this time of year. It's kind of nice having nights and weekends free to pursue some other things. I have had two preliminary interviews already this week, and am looking forward to what's next.

I know the updates have been few and far between lately, and I apologize for being so lax with writing. I intend to shut down this blog once I'm employed, and then look at starting another kind of blog that isn't so much of a travelogue. I'll be sure to let you know when that day comes so that if you want to stay connected with us this way you can.

We'd love to hear what you've been up to these days. Hard to believe that Thanksgiving is only a month away. Enjoy your Thursday.
